performing the same activities in several ways. For example, you can change the volume level
either in the headset or on the radio.

• Allow radio collaboration with various Bluetooth sensors or data capture devices, for example
biometric sensors, bar code scanners, or firearm devices.
• Allow radio collaboration with a body worn camera for photo and video capturing purposes.
• Increase connectivity with secure packet data services between the radio and a data device or a

5.2.1
Bluetooth Interactions
The Bluetooth feature interacts differently with other features and situations of the radio.
The following features and situations limit the use of Bluetooth:
Car Kit
Car Kit affects Bluetooth headsets - when Car Kit is used, audio is routed only to/from accessories
connected to the Car Kit. The audio is not routed to Bluetooth headsets.
Covert Mode
The radio cannot enter Discoverable Mode while in the Covert Mode as Covert Mode has a higher
priority.
Covert Solution
The radio cannot enter Discoverable Mode while in the Covert Solution as Covert Solution has a
higher priority.
Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI)
Bluetooth does not work in the Transmit Inhibit Mode. When the radio enters the TXI while
Bluetooth is enabled, all remote devices are disconnected and Bluetooth is disabled. After leaving
the TXI, Bluetooth is enabled again (if it was previously turned on).
Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI), Repeater Mode
Bluetooth does not work in the Transmit Inhibit Mode nor in the Repeater Mode. When the radio
enters one of those modes while Bluetooth is enabled, all remote devices are disconnected and
Bluetooth is disabled. After leaving the TXI or the Repeater Mode, Bluetooth is enabled again (if it
was previously turned on).
Wired Audio Accessories
Wired audio accessories have a higher priority than Bluetooth audio accessories. If both types of
devices are connected to the radio, it disconnects the Bluetooth audio device. When a wired audio
device is already connected to the radio, scanning for Bluetooth audio devices is disabled.
5.2.2
Discoverable Mode
When the radio is in the Discoverable Mode, it is visible to other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Also, it accepts connection requests from other devices attempting;
• to send files to your radio,
• to establish a DUN connection,
• or to start a remote control or AT Command session.
